Why the edge:
- Documentation and upkeep, MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL +25: MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 59 (Model card 14, Intended use, the architecture, the parameters, the context and the languages (in the metadata) are on the card.); Qwen3.5-9B 34 (Model card 14, it covers intended use, architecture, parameters, context and 201 languages but gives no limitations and no knowledge cut-off.)
- Reach, Qwen3.5-9B +20: MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 65 (Memory 5, the smallest build at 4 bits or better is ggml-org's MXFP4 GGUF, 168.93 GB with its projector, and 168.93 GB × 1.2 = 202.7 GB, within 256 GB.); Qwen3.5-9B 85 (Memory 30, Qwen publishes no quantised 9B, so the smallest 4-bit build from a runtime's own library is Ollama's qwen3.5:9b at 6.6 GB, about 7.9 GB with the fift…)
- Agent interface, MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL +15: MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 85 (Chat template 20, chat_template.jinja in the repository (3,868 characters), with a copy in tokenizer_config.json.); Qwen3.5-9B 70 (Chat template 20, a Jinja file in the repository.)
- Risk, Qwen3.5-9B +10: MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL 45 (File safety 5, the weights are safetensors, but the dflash folder's mask_embedding.pt is a pickle beside them (15).); Qwen3.5-9B 55 (File safety 25, safetensors only and nothing from the repository runs on load or to build prompts.)
